Kwathi sesimukile kubo, sasuka ngomkhumbi, saqonda ngqo eKhose, ngangomuso eRodu, sasuka lapho safika ePhathara;
Sathola umkhumbi owelela eFenike, sangena kuwo, samuka.
Kwathi sesiyibonile iKhupro, sayishiya ngakwesokhohlo, sangena ngomkhumbi eSiriya, sehla eTire, ngokuba umkhumbi wawuzakwethula khona umthwalo wawo.
Safumana abafundi, sahlala khona izinsuku eziyisikhombisa; bona bathi kuPawulu ngoMoya angenyukeli eJerusalema.
Kwathi sesiqedile lezo zinsuku, saphuma sahamba; bonke basiphelekezela kanye nawomkabo nabantwana, kwaze kwaba ngaphandle komuzi; saguqa ogwini, sakhuleka.
Kwathi sesivalelisane, sangena emkhunjini; babuyela ekhaya futhi.
Sathi sesiqedile uhambo lwethu sisuka eTire, safika ePetolemayi, sabingelela abazalwane, sahlala nabo usuku lwaba lunye.
Ngangomuso sasuka, safika eKesariya, sangena endlini kaFiliphu umvangeli, owayengomunye wabayisikhombisa; wahlala laye.
yena lowo wayenamadodakazi amane, izintombi eziprofetha.
Sathi sihlezi khona izinsuku eziningi, kwehla eJudiya umprofethi ogama lakhe lingu-Agabu.
Kwathi esefikile kithi, wathatha ibhande likaPawuli, wazibopha izandla lenyawo, wathi: Utsho njalo uMoya oNgcwele, ngokunjalo abaJuda eJerusalema bazabopha indoda ephethe lelibhanti, njalo bazamnikela ejele. izandla zabezizwe.
Kwathi sesikuzwile lokho, samncenga thina kanye labakuleyondawo ukuthi angenyukeli eJerusalema.
UPawuli wasephendula wathi: Litshoni ukukhala lichoboza inhliziyo yami? ngoba mina angilungele ukubotshwa kuphela, kodwa lokufa eJerusalema ngenxa yebizo leNkosi uJesu.
Kwathi engavumi ukuvunyiswa, sathula sathi: Mayenziwe intando yeNkosi.
Emva kwalezo zinsuku sathatha impahla yethu, senyukela eJerusalema.
Kwasekuhamba lathi abanye babafundi baseKesariya, basisa kuMnasoni waseKhupro, obengumfundi omdala, ebesizangenisa kuye.
Kwathi sesifikile eJerusalema, abazalwane basemukela ngokuthokoza.
Ngangomuso uPawulu wangena nathi kuJakobe; labadala bonke babekhona.
Wababingelela, wabalandisa ngazo zonke izinto uNkulunkulu abezenzile phakathi kwabezizwe ngenkonzo yakhe.
Sebezwile bayidumisa iNkosi, bathi kuye: “Uyabona, mfowethu, ukuthi zingaki izigidi zabakholwayo abaJuda; futhi bonke bashisekela umthetho;
Sebebikelwe ngawe ukuthi ufundisa bonke abaJuda abaphakathi kwabezizwe ukuhlubuka kuMose, uthi bangasoki abantwana babo, bangahambi ngamasiko.
Ngakho kuyini? ixuku limele ukubuthana, ngoba lizakuzwa ukuthi ufikile.
Ngakho yenza lokhu esikusho kuwe: Sinamadoda amane anesithembiso phezu kwawo;
Bathathe, uzihlambulule kanye nabo, ube necala kubo, ukuze baphuce amakhanda abo, bazi bonke ukuthi akulutho lokho abakubikelwe ngawe; kodwa ukuthi lawe uhamba ngokufaneleyo njalo ugcina umlayo.
Mayelana nabezizwe abakholwayo silobile, saphetha ngokuthi bangagcini okunje, kuphela ukuba bazigcine entweni ehlatshelwe izithombe, nasegazini, nasekokuklinyiweyo, nasebufebeni.
UPawuli wasewathatha amadoda, kusisa ezihlambulule kanye lawo, wangena ethempelini, ukutshengisa ukuphela kwensuku zokuhlanjululwa, kuze kunikelelwe umnikelo wawo wonke.
Kwathi sezizaphela lezonsuku eziyisikhombisa, abaJuda beAsiya, bembona ethempelini, badunga ixuku lonke, bambamba;
ememeza esithi: Madoda akwaIsrayeli, sizani! Lona nguye umuntu ofundisa bonke ezindaweni zonke okuphambene nabantu, nomthetho, nalendawo, futhi engenisa namaGreki ethempelini, wayingcolisa le ndawo engcwele.
(Ngokuba babebone ngaphambili uTrofimu wase-Efesu enaye emzini, ababecabanga ukuthi uPawulu umngenise ethempelini.)
Umuzi wonke wanyakaza, abantu bagijima kanyekanye, bambamba uPawulu, bamdonsela ngaphandle kwethempeli, kwavalwa masinyane iminyango.
Kwathi besafuna ukumbulala, kwafika umbiko enduneni yenkulungwane ukuthi lonke iJerusalema liyayaluza.
yona yahle yathatha amasosha nezinduna zekhulu, yagijimela kubo;
Induna yenkulungwane yayisisondela, yambamba, yayala ukuba aboshwe ngamaketanga amabili; wabuza ukuthi ungubani nokuthi wenzeni.
Abanye phakathi kwesixuku bamemeza okunye, abanye okunye, kepha engakwazi ukuqiniseka ngenxa yesiyaluyalu, wayala ukuba ayiswe ekamu.
Esefikile ezitebhisini, wathwalwa ngamasosha ngenxa yobudlova babantu.
Ngoba ixuku labantu lalilandela limemeza lisithi: Msuse!
